Love this school! It balances the Montessori method with a nurturing spirit. At a previous…read moreMontessori school, my child did not want to go. Everyday it was like I was walking him to prison (and he had been in daycares his whole little life, so it was not just separation anxiety). I observed, spied, discussed with his teacher and administrator with no results. Finally I took a chance and moved him to CMS. His first day showed a change in our lives immediately - he was happy and eager to see his new friends (and he did not want to go back)! This year is his "leadership year" as a kindergartener, and I could not be more thankful with how self-confident and joyful he has grown. Thank you to teachers Nina and Jessica and administrator Donna for my happy boy!

Based on our experience at the center and other feedback within local mom's groups and more this place is awful. Dana is unhinged and very full of herself.

Our two kids go here - and we also attended the Vancouver location as well. There is a very long waitlist to get into this school - and that is because it is a top notch childcare facility. They serve delicious and nutritious meals and snacks to the kids as well. Our kids are happy, well fed, stimulated and given the best care and support at Tree Hill. We feel extremely grateful to have this place in Camas. **Please note, this is NOT Children's Village - this location has been Tree Hill for several years now!!**

This is the church I enjoy to worship at while visiting my mom up in Camas, WA. I've attended…read moredaily Mass here a number of times and the Sunday 9:30am Mass. The most recent Sunday Mass that I attended was on 01/01/2012 (Solemnity of the Holy Mother of God). It was celebrated by a young priest. Most of the ordinary and propers were sang (yes!!!! :) ) and the choir is stationed in the choir loft (double yess!!) His homily provided a history of the Solemnity which was very appropriate (most New Year's Day masses I've attended mostly focus on the theme of new year's resolutions and not so much on the feast day itself). I would really like to attend their 11:00AM Sunday Mass next time - they have a schola that chants the ordinaries and propers in Latin. Their website (http://www.st-thomascamas.org/) offers some helpful catechesis. I believe they also have Perpetual Adoration In conclusion: if your heart is raised up to the LORD best through orthodox, solemn and contemplative liturgies, this is your place!

Overall, this is a great school…read more However, the Board of Directors and head of school just decided to increase tuition by almost double the inflation rate, while simultaneously removing sibling discounts, resulting in year over year tuition increases of almost 25% for a family of three and 34% for a family of four. The justification for such a decision is still really unclear but certainly leaves some serious questions. If you send decide this is the school for you, as we did, just be aware you may be looking at SHARP tuition increases way beyond the normal cost of living.

Our family is so very thankful for the love and attention to our daughters education!…read more From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and cared for. The entire staff is helpful and kind. The curriculum and education decisions that this school makes and implements is the best. Reading Without Tears in kindergarten is one of the best ways to help our early readers and I am so thankful that they use this here. Chapel, PE, dance, worship, outdoor play, and small class sizes are all part of the reason for us choosing private school with CCA. The top reason, perpetuating the love of Christ. There are also great ways to connect with other parents. I have joined the book club and I am looking forward to taking the adult hip hop class! Our daughter is thriving in her classroom under her teachers guidance. She looks forward to school every day and as a mom, nothing can beat my child's positive attitude toward her education in her formative, primary years!! Another plus, the school uniforms make the mornings MUCH easier!

The director and owner have always been very kind and responsive to whenever I had a question or concern too, and place a lot of importance on the health, safety, and well-being of the kids.

I am writing to convey our extreme dissatisfaction with The Goddard School, particularly following…read moreour daughter's initial year of enrollment. Despite significant investment and early promise, the quality of care and education deteriorated severely. We observed persistent operational failures, including consistently high student-to-teacher ratios and rapid staff turnover, transforming the environment from an enriching educational setting into what felt like an understaffed daycare. This led to a complete absence of individualized attention and consistent relationships crucial for early childhood development. Furthermore, the school's response to our daughter's needs was deeply inadequate. Instead of offering supportive classroom adjustments, we repeatedly encountered deflection and premature suggestions for external medical evaluations. Our pediatrician subsequently confirmed no developmental or behavioral issues beyond normal for her age, directly refuting the school's completely unwarranted suggestions. Most disturbingly, we hold serious concerns regarding potential bias. As a biracial child, our daughter's behaviors were disproportionately scrutinized and framed negatively compared to non-biracial peers exhibiting similar or more challenging behaviors, raising profound questions about fairness within the school. The emotional toll on our daughter has been devastating. She reported being repeatedly labeled "bad" by staff, including egregious comments like, "your classmates don't like you because you are bad." Such unprofessional and psychologically damaging statements constitute an appalling breach of trust, severely impacting her self-confidence and overall outlook on school. This experience has been profoundly disappointing and extremely detrimental to our daughter's early educational journey. We strongly caution other parents against enrolling their children at The Goddard School, especially for children beyond the earliest stages. In reply to your response: Your response entirely misses the fundamental issues we raised regarding our daughter's profound negative experience at your school. Despite your stated commitments, our child endured significant emotional harm from staff labeling her as "bad," which severely undermined her confidence. Beyond this, we observed consistent systemic failures: inadequate classroom support, high staff turnover, and an inappropriate focus on evaluations despite pediatric confirmation of age-appropriate behavior. Crucially, we noted a distressing disparity in the treatment of our biracial daughter compared to other children. This was a cumulative pattern of events, not isolated incidents, which ultimately led to her departure. Our review stands as a vital warning for other prospective families.
